Barcelona is undergoing one of the most turbulent periods in the club’s history, both on and off the field.
The financial situation at Camp Nou had deteriorated to the point where Lionel Messi was forced to leave in the summer because Barcelona could no longer afford to pay his wages. The Blaugrana have earned a reputation for having world-class superstars among their ranks over the years. During their time at the club, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Luis Suarez, Neymar, and Messi were all regarded as some of the best in the world.
The squad is now the weakest it has been in a long time, despite the presence of a few wonderkids whose value will skyrocket in the coming years. FootballTransfers calculates transfer valuations in collaboration with SciSports, a world-leading football analytics agency that evaluates the relative transfer valuations of over 60,000 professional footballers worldwide. SciSports employs a variety of data points, such as current and potential ability, contract length, form, age, and other critical factors.
Using this information, we calculated the worth of each Barcelona squad member.
The most valuable player in the current Barcelona squad, according to our algorithm, is Frenkie de Jong, who is worth €85 million. While the club’s youngsters, such as Ansu Fati, Pedri, Gavi, and Nico, are likely to become superstars, their youth plays a significant role in their valuations.
On the other hand, Pedri has already made such an impact at the club and international levels that he is the second-most valuable player.
There aren’t many players on the Barcelona team who can be considered among the best in the world in their position in 2021, but Marc-Andre Ter Stegen remains a class act and the club’s third most valuable player.
